Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

... Dragon is worth 10,544,395 gold.
I wanted to keep that figure somewhere, but didn't know where, so my journal seemed like the most logical place.

My journal is like.. the only remnant from my time on Gaia that I can find, actually. All my posts are not considered 'recent' enough, so to get to my old 'hang out' spots, one has to go though subscribed threads, or favourites. How depressing is that!?
... I think it's depressing, anyway =(

Zep went on gaia with me today. That made me happy - I haven't spoken to her that much recently, IRL and online, so us getting together for a school project was v. awkward. However, we started talking about Gaia, ('cause it's just about the only thing we have in common nowadays... ) and ended up wasting about an hour of our time just looking around.

The GD... scares me. I've been trying to figure out if they were always this dumb, or whether this is a new development. (I was 11 at the time when I made this account, so I could have grown in intelligence since then, and the GD hasn't) But! I swear!
When I went into the GD, everyone had perfect grammar, and if you didn't have the little 'discuss' dot-points at the end of your post, everyone yelled at you.
I mean... how can "wow i made 10k on the forums" (a random thread I found in GD) ever compare?

I... don't really think I have that much in common with Gaia anymore.
But, having given up on quite a few friendships )that just weren't working) this year, I feel like I shouldn't be dropping it just yet.

I hate ditching friendships, I really do. Especially when you lose like... 3 at once. Anyone know what I'm talking about?
Probably not - I am socially retarded after all xD;
Anyway, like.. when one of your friends moves somewhere far away, and suddenly you realize that the people who hung around you because of her don't actually like your company, and the only thing that you have in common is that person, and now that she's left you have nothing to talk about.

I was discussing social issues with my friend the other day, and before I continue with that, I'm going to explain the back story.
So, picture it - you've been at the one school since year 3, and have grown in and out of friendships the whole time, leaving you with very few people who you don't have some kind of bad memory about.
Your best friend is new this year - she hangs around you + your friends because that's where she feels welcomed, however, this is only because she has yet to get to know everyone else.
See where I'm going?

So, anyway, we were discussing who to invite to our birthday parties (childish, I know, but when you go to an All-Girl's School it's a very stressful procedure). We would come up with a person, and her response would always be 'I don't really know them,' but mine would always be 'uhm, I'm not sure we're as close as we used to be.'

This means that my social life (as thriving as it once was -coughcough- rolleyes ) is not a good one, as I am now running out of people who have not been 'former friends' with me at some point.
Anyone know how awkward talking to people who no longer have the same interests as you, (but used to) is? You end up sitting around being like, uhm... so..... you remember that time when...?

NOT a good way to spend an afternoon, I can tell you.

So, am I the atomic bomb of social relationships or what?

Aaah, I miss my friends from last year. It's sad, really...
This 1 girl leaves, and we suddenly realise that she was what we have in common.
So, this is like a big group of say... 10 people? Everyone goes their seperate ways, because this ONE GIRL was holding us all together. Sad much?

Anyway, it's late, and I'm going 'round to my friend's house tomorrow morning to bake cupcakes and stuff for my party, so I should probably get some sleep.
Otherwise I might fall asleep in the batter, which is probably not a good thing....
